create-next-auth-app-cli
raw JSON → 1.0.3 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript
CLI tool (v1.0.3) to scaffold a Next.js authentication boilerplate with login, register, dashboard, and admin pages. One command generates a full auth frontend using Next.js, React 19, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, Axios, and JWT token management. Relies on a separate backend package (create-auth-app-cli) for API endpoints. GitHub not found, low download count, experimental. Not a library — use as a scaffolding tool via npx.
Common errors
error npx create-next-auth-app-cli my-project command not found ↓
cause Package not installed globally or network issue
fix
Run
npx create-next-auth-app-cli@latest my-project to use the latest version. error Error: Cannot find module 'axios' ↓
cause Dependencies not installed after scaffolding
fix
Run
npm install inside the project folder. error Failed to start dev server: port 3000 in use ↓
cause Port already occupied
fix
Run
npm run dev -- -p 3001 or kill the process using port 3000. Warnings
gotcha This package scaffolds a frontend only — you must also run the backend (create-auth-app-cli) for API endpoints. ↓
fix Run `npx create-auth-app-cli my-backend` in another directory and start the backend server.
gotcha The scaffolded project uses localStorage + cookies for JWT, which may be insecure against XSS. Use httpOnly cookies for production. ↓
fix Modify the generated auth logic to use httpOnly cookies and CSRF tokens.
gotcha Package has low popularity and no visible issue tracker or repository. Stability and maintenance are uncertain. ↓
fix Evaluate other solutions like NextAuth.js or Lucia before using in production.
